“For those seeking simple, affordable accommodation, this guest house presents a viable option within walking distance of both the beach and Paje's center. The presence of a communal kitchen is a definite plus, and I noted that some rooms are equipped with practical features like mosquito nets. While some may find the presence of cats charming, others might want to consider this aspect.”
